Waterfield iPhone/iPod Travel Case

iPod iPhone Travel Case
Price: $39 (Large size)

I love my Waterfield iPhone/iPod Travel Case. Period.

Thats it. Review over.

OK, I guess I need to explain what I like about it and why I like it. OK, remember when you bought your first iPod? Life was simple. You got your earbuds and your iPod and that just about covered it.

But wait. In no time, there’s more.

What about that charger, and the USB cord that goes with it? And then when you finally realized how sucky the earbuds were, you went out and bought some wonderful, new earphones with their included cute little case. But then you noticed how heavy your beloved iPod was when exercising, so you bought an iPod Nano for jogging, or gardening because it’s so light. Oh, and then came the iPhone! Great, another gadget! And no, your gargantuan music collection will not fit on the iPhone, what, with all those apps, thank you very much. So now you’re stuck with three Apple gadgets and all the accessories. But man, the battery on the iPhone could be a lot better and so, for insurance, you get a little portable battery backup. And what about that thumb drive you’ve been carrying around in your pocket?

Do you see where I’m going with this? Eventually, you need a place to keep all your stuff organized. And thats where the Waterfield iPhone/iPod Travel Case comes in.

With so many ways to damage your iPhone these days, it’s a relief to know that there are companies that specialize in fixing broken iPhone’s. One of these companies is iPhoneReplacementParts.com.

They service all three generations of iPhone and you’ll likely get your device back faster and having spent less money than sending it to Apple.

Tekkeon myPower: iPhone 3G/S Case Review

By Cyprian November 16th, 2009 at 04:18pm Comments

iPhone 3G/S Case Review: Tekkeon myPower
Reviewed by: Cyprian Peters
-Official website
Price: $79.95

Tekkeon is an accessories company that give you a variety of different power options for different mobile devices. This includes the iPhone. I’ll be taking a look at their myPower for iPhone case/backup battery. It comes in both synthetic and genuine leather versions. The genuine leather version is available exclusively at the Apple store.

I’ve seen a few different backup battery cases over the last while. Some are really good, while others aren’t that user friendly. If all you are looking for is something to charge your iPhone, than any case with a battery in it will do. If you are a more discriminating user, than there are other things to consider, such as looks, feel, protection, usability, etc.

Speck SeeThru: iPhone 3G/S Case Review

By Cyprian November 16th, 2009 at 04:10pm Comments

iPhone 3G/S Case Review: Speck SeeThru
Reviewed by: Cyprian Peters
-Official website
Price: $29.95

When it comes to iPhone cases, there are very few that I would consider daily users after reviews are all said and done. Speck, however, is in a category all of its own. They have by far the widest variety of cases that I would use on a daily basis. These have included the CandyShell, PixelSkin, and now the SeeThru.

The SeeThru is their latest in iPhone cases and like many of its predecessors, it shines. It is such a simple case, yet looks so good while giving you full functionality and all the protection you could ask for out of a case. The SeeThru is semi-transparent like you would guess from its name. There is a completely clear version, which is my favorite. It looks like you don’t even have a case on it. There are also pink, black, aqua, and red versions which are somewhat see-through.

Lars & Ivan Hybrid Amplifier and Cube Speakers : iPhone/iPod Accessory Review

iPhone/iPod Accessory Review: Lars & Ivan Hybrid Amplifier and Cube Speakers
Reviewed by: Cyprian Peters

-Canada
-United States
Price: Hybrid Amp - $399.99
Wireless Speaker - $449.99

Of all the iPod/iPhone music accessories out there, there are very few that stand out and set themselves apart from the rest, both in style and sound. Lars & Ivan has a product here that actually does both, very well I might add. I’ll be looking at a couple of their products today. They can be used both separately and together. One is the Hybrid iPod Amplifier and the other is their Cube speakers.

First, we’ll take a look at the hybrid amplifier. The first thing that strikes you when looking at this is how cool it looks. It has an odd shape but it definitely works. It is not too bulky and its curved top makes it look very sleek. They sent me the black one but it is also available in grey and white. This is a tube amplifier and there are two transparent bubbles on the top which glow orange when it is in operation. This makes it look even more unique.

JVC NX-PN10 : iPhone/iPod Accessory Review

By Cyprian November 16th, 2009 at 03:48pm Comments

iPhone/iPod Accessory Review: JVC NX-PN7
Reviewed by: Cyprian Peters
-Official website
Price: $199.95

iPod docks have been around for quite a while now. Only recently have companies started incorporating the ‘Works with iPhone’ certification to their products. Many of the newly released docks have this capability now. JVC’s NX-PN7 is no exception. Not only does their dock work with an iPhone, it can work with 2 iPhones!

This is the first dock I’ve reviewed that has two docking slots. I must say, it definitely is handy. While you play music from one iPod or iPhone, another one can be charging right alongside it. This eliminates having to use the other wall plug and extra cabling. Even when the dock is turned off, it still charges devices.

Plantronics Discovery 975 vs Jawbone Prime Earcandy: iPhone Accessory Review

iPhone Accessory Review: Plantronics Discovery 975 vs Jawbone Prime Earcandy
Reviewed by: Cyprian Peters
-Official websites
Discovery 975
Prime Earcandy
Price: Discovery 975 - $129.99
Prime Earcandy - $129.99

Today I’ll be doing a rare comparison review, putting two of the top bluetooth headsets, from two of the top companies in the business up against each other. These two companies, which I’m sure most of you have heard of, are Plantronics and Jawbone. Both of these companies have a variety of different headsets that range in style and price. The two being reviewed here are two of their newer models and also some of their more pricier ones. Both of these headsets have superb quality and design.

First off, let’s talk a bit about the purpose of buying these things, conversing. The 975 has noise and wind cancelling technology built in. The Prime has something called NoiseAssassin built in to get rid of unwanted background noise. The Prime also has a ‘Voice Activity Sensor’ on it which is a little rubber bump which ideally should be up against your skin. It senses the vibrations when you talk in order to capture only your voice frequencies and filter out background noise.

Luxa2 H1-Touch: iPhone Accessory Review

iPhone Accessory Review: Luxa2 H1-Touch
Reviewed by: Cyprian Peters
-Official website
Price: $54.99

One thing that can really help organize your desk is an stand for you iPhone. You can semi-hide your docking cable behind it and lift your iPhone up and out of the way. It’s simple and yet convenient, even raising your iPhone up so you can see the screen at a better angle. There’s a few different options when looking for stands, but after using the H1-Touch, I’d almost say there’s no need to look any further!

There are a few things to look for in a stand. First of all, it should hold the device firmly, without risk of having it fall out. Secondly, it should be able to pivot and rotate, letting the user change viewing angle if so desired. Last but certainly not least, it should look half decent and not be an eyesore sitting on a desk. The H1-Touch excels in all of these areas.

Dexim P-Flip: iPhone Accessory Review

iPhone Accessory Review: Dexim P-Flip
Reviewed by: Cyprian Peters
-Official website
Price: $54.95

Dexim is a company that offers all sorts of different power options for almost any mobile device out there. They have a variety of different ways to charge your iPhone and of their cheapest (and coolest) accessories is the P-Flip folding dock. This compact little dock packs a punch and is ideal for traveling or everyday use.

I wasn’t too sure how I would like this dock when I first got it but I soon fell in love. It has become my new bedside dock. Up till now, I really haven’t had a great way to charge my iPhone during the night and have it nearby. My desk comes right to the edge of my bed. The dock cable doesn’t quite reach the edge of the desk and so if I plug it in there, I have to reach across the desk to grab it if I want to check the time. This isn’t always easy when you’re half asleep and it’s dark.
